Shah Rukh Khan: 'My films are an extension of my personality'

Shah Rukh Khan has said that his films are an extension of his personality.

The actor, who has starred in 75 movies, explained that his upbringing informs his characters and the films he chooses.

Speaking to IANS, he said: "I do believe that an actor who is self-aware will never do a film that is not an extension of his personality.

"No matter how good I am as an actor, I can do this role also, that also, I can also prepare... lots of things I can do to change my personality and be in the role that I want to be. But as hard as I will try, I don't think it can ever go beyond my upbringing.

"So, somewhere I feel that my upbringing is very simple. My parents have taught me good things, personally I shy away from talking something wrong."

"I can't say some things in the films. I feel that it will not look good when I will watch them with my kids, even alone. There is a natural censorship inside my system," he added.

"But having said that, I don't know if that censorship is so personal that it may happen, especially [with] my sense of humor, that people get me wrong. It hurts some sentiments. It disturbs a lot of people."
